Madman - I'll bite ;)

He helps De Niro do the deal, he runs out of medicine, they figure out how he was doing it, they want the medicine. Those random side effects (Which were visually quite cool) make it worse blah blah, mafia guy wants money, probably wants the drug etc etc....

I guess it just got so convoluted I lost interest. I am all for psycholigical thrillers and drama, but this just felt like it was rushed, or they were trying to cram too much character development into too little character interaction.

My rating stands, Bradley Coopers last tragedy (Bending all the rules) still gets a 0/10 for pure utter bull****.

Super 8 -9/10.A throwback to 1950's monster horror with some ET and Goonies thrown in, this movie is something special.At its core though, is a heart-warming story about real people.

Blitz - 4.5/10 - A British Action movie with Jason Statham - absolutely crap - no action and 90% of the movie was spent in a dark / dimly lit pub.

Not seen any Statham movie yet that I would score higher than 5. But you know what your gonna get and now and again it is ok to turn of the brain and watch the british version of Jackie Chan :p

Kill the Irishman - 6.5/10

Didn't expect much, but enjoyed it. If you enjoy Mafia movies, you'll enjoy this one, except with an Irishman.

More drama than action and based on a true story.
 
Romeo And Juliet (1968 - Zeffirelli)

9/10

I usually don't like watching old films because I generally find the acting to be rather 'cheesy' but this film is just excellent. I can't believe I haven't seen it up till now - just finished watching it. I would recommend it to anyone as a masterpiece even now-a-days.

Romeo + Juliet (1996 - Baz Luhrmann)

7/10

A very well done adaptation of the play. I especially loved the stylised way it was presented and the 'crypt' where Juliet is buried is visually very appealing. I also really enjoyed how they used modern setting with the Shakespearean language.
 
Your Highness - 7.5/10. It's a comedy about an under-achieving Prince who goes with his brother on a quest. (need to watch it again though.. soo many innuendos)

If you like the comedy in Pineapple Express you'll like this. If you're a fan of Kenny Powers (Eastbound & Down) you'll also like this; Danny McBride's comedic style is all over this film.

Oh and you get to see Natalie Portmans bare ass-cheeks too :D
 
Scream 4 - 6/10

Just like the rest, nothing new here, watch only if you have nothing better to watch.

The actors needed money, so they decided to make another movie just for the paycheck.
 
Jarhead - 6.5/10
War drama I think... but nothing happens, most exciting part was when they where watching Apocalypse Now
